II. Introduction/Review/Content:
Last week we discussed the importance of financial analysis and the liquidity ratio. In this
module, we will discuss the other ratios particularly the solvency and profitability ratio. We will be
using the same financial statement for consistency of the data, evaluation and analysis.

Furthermore, solvency ratios measure the long-term health of a business. In other words,
solvency ratios prove (or disprove) that business firms can honor their debt obligations. It helps the
business owner keep an eye on downtrends that could suggest the potential for bankruptcy in the
future. It helps analysts keep a close eye on how much debt a company is taking on in comparison
to its assets and earnings. Moreover, this ratio quantifies the size of a company’s after-tax income,
not counting non-cash depreciation expenses, as contrasted to the total debt obligations of the firm.
Also, it provides an assessment of the likelihood of a company to continue congregating its debt
obligations.

1. Debt Ratio – measures business liabilities as a percentage of total assets. It measures the
extent of total assets financed by liabilities. Generally, a lower ratio is favorable since it means
that more funds are provided by the owner. In discussing a company’s sources of funds, we
go back to the fundamental accounting equation. Thus, a 50-50 ratio where liabilities and
owner’s equity have the same proportion is considered fair as this is determined to be the
optimal debt ratio. However, a slightly higher debt ratio is also acceptable although we must
consider the industry and payment history of the company.
2. Equity Ratio – measures the percentage of total assets financed by the owner’s investment.
It measures the extent of total assets owned by the owner. Furthermore, the higher the equity
ratio, the more favorable it is for the company. This is also an advantage if the company is to
apply for a loan as potential creditors will find the company less risky.
3. Debt to Equity Ratio – measures the financing provided by the creditors against those
provided by the owner. This measures the extent of borrowed funds as compared to the
investment by the owner. The optimal fair ratio is 1 or 100 %. This means that liabilities are
equal to owner’s equity. The higher the ratio, the higher the risk as interest payments on
liabilities are onerous. Hence, a lower ratio is favorable.
Debt to Equity Ratio = Total Liabilities During the year, the creditors heavily funded the
Total Equity assets of the company that for every P 1 funded
= P 2, 374.3 by the owner, the creditors funded P 10. 90. This
P 217.9 is very unfavorable since the company will pay
= 10.9 % huge interest for the use of creditor funds in the
% business.
4. Times interest earned – measures the company’s ability to pay the interest charged to the
company for its outstanding liabilities. It measures the number of times operating income can
cover interest expense. The higher the number of times the operating income can cover
interest expense, the more favorable it is for the creditors because it means the company is
not struggling to pay its interests from loans.

Times Interest Earned = Interest Expense its income before interest and taxes.
The decrease in number of times

payments from large amounts of

Profitability
Profits are the lifeblood of any business without which a
business cannot remain a going concern. Profitability ratios
are the financial ratios that talk about the profitability of a
business with respect to its sales or investments. They are
quite useful tools to understand the
efficiencies/inefficiencies of a business and assist
management and owners to take corrective actions. Since
the profitability ratios deal with the profits, they are as
important as the profits.
1. Gross Profit Ratio – measures the percentage of peso sales earned after deducting cost of
goods sold. Hence, this is the percentage of mark -up a company adds to the cost of its
inventory which will alter the operating expenses related to the sale of goods. A high gross
profit ratio is favorable as there will be greater operating income after all operating expenses
have been paid.
Gross Profit Ratio = Gross Profit
Net Sales
The gross profit margin of the

company was not bad as the mark- P 2,213.3
up was more than 50% which will be

used to absorb the operating
expenses.
2. Operating Profit Margin – measures the percentage of income earned after deducting the
cost of sales and operating expenses. In short, it is the income earned per peso of net sales
after the cost of inventory and the related operating expenses are deducted. This is an
indication of how the company is effectively and efficiently managing its expenses at its sales
level. Hence, a higher ratio is favorable since it indicates efficiency in managing expenses.

Operating Income
The operating profit margin is 13.2 %. This Operating Profit Margin =
indicates that the company is not efficiently Net Sales
managing its expenses. A closer look at the P 292.00
=
company’s income statement reveals that P 2,213.3
selling and administrative expenses show 13.2 %
=
an increasing trend. If this is will be the
case, the company will end up incurring
losses.
3. Net Profit Margin – measures the percentage of net income earned from net sales after all
other income has been added and all operating expenses and other expenses including
income taxes have been paid. A higher net profit margin is favorable to the company.
4. Return on Assets – measures the company’s efficiency in using its level of investment in
assets to generate income. Generally, a high ratio is favorable. Since capital assets are one
of the company’s investments, the return on asset measures the income derived from these
asset acquisitions.
Net Income
The return on assets was 7.4 %. Return on Assets =
